Mike Piazza says Vin Scully sided against him

Mike Piazza

In his new autobiography "Long Shot," former Dodgers and Mets catcher Mike Piazza denies ever using steroids to help him hit 427 career home runs but admits to using just about everything else, including androstenedione, amphetamines, Creatine, ephedra and a type of asthma medicine that made him more alert and focused.

He also says venerable Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully was against him in a contract dispute.

"The fans of Los Angeles were beating me up on a daily basis," Piazza wrote. "On top of that, Vin Scully was crushing me."
